Proffesor Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Huge selection available, depending what you want. Including :- Fingerprint scanning Pincode Single / multiple key locks using keys that are not easy to replicate Electronic locks that require a "dongle", smartphone or other Near Field Device Debit / Credit / security card readers Combinations of the above. Also, a door supplier ( Scorpion Doors ) who have steel doors in steel frames, with multi-point locking activated by a variety of door handles and/or locks. Some of the locks exceed the cost of the doors. All depends what you want / need. We have used Scorpion doors on a number of installations, to the satisfaction of clients. And 'No", I'm in no way connected to them other than as a satisfied customer / contractor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I'd take a key lock over electronic every time if I had a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at a couple of this guy's videos and you'll think why bother with anything. Edited April 29, 2021 by fygjam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Internal bars inside both doors and all windows as visual deterent plus low tech padlock has worked so far for me. They went through the roof at Sweatie's house in Soi Khautalo. Edited April 29, 2021 by Jambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proffesor Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 If they really want in, they'll find a way to get in, for sure. In a condo, you need to consider both the way in from the corridor, as well as the way in from the balcony, or any other external access / entry point. The higher you are up in a condo, the safer you will usually be, until you come to the top couple of floors, where coming down from the roof doesn't seem too dangerous . . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
